A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a 0.200kg ball to a 1.00 m-long string, then allowing the mass to move in a horizontal circle of radius 40.0cm . The figure (Figure 1) shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name.
A) What is the tension in the string?
B) What is the ball's angular velocity, in rpm?
